"Your guns with horse and waggon you tarry,
Ours one can on the shoulder carry,
From strong leather them we make,
and when they shoot the earth quakes."
To celebrate Midsummer, I've charged my gun and fired right at you this video about Swedish artillery during the 30 Years War!

i remember one incident where polish forces captured some of these leather cannons, and the hetman was so dumbfounded that he wrote to the king about that fact, the king was also dumbfounded, so he-the king himself-visited the polish camp, where the leather cannons were shown to him.

@@balticempire7244 By min 8.1 the Picture are this are staff slings to shot Grenades or Burning storm Pots ?
@@killerkraut9179 It was done until WW2 in Europe. In other parts of the world it might still be happening. Even in Ukraine.
@@balticempire7244did you see the film "1612?"
There was a scene with the protagonist posing as a Spanish artillery specialist and a display of gunnery.
Also this same person invented a leather gun!
Great film but I don't think it was entirely authentic.
By the way, I enjoy your channel immensely!👍
Wait, which king?
Great content! you are doing the lords work making this available to a english speaking audience. They only ever get exposed to the history of France, Germany or the UK when it comes to european history and miss the enormus contribution that the less populated states of Europe has made to the modern world. So cool to se how ideas ad concepts jump between European states already back then. I never knew that the Swiss were the original creaters of the leather cannon, learned something new today. Thank you
yeah i like to cover less-known things
Medieval 2 music very based
Well made and interesting video, once again. 👍🏻
Did not know you had this channel until I saw you link it in the comments on your other channel. I am happy to find this. 🙂
**Ape Escape sound effects as my monkey brain takes repeated damage trying to comprehend that concept.**
I’m still trying to wrap my mind around this, so bizarre yet cool?
Hantlangare survives in Finnish as "hanslankari" but meaning is something like "assistant", "aide" or "minion". Although you probably won't use word unless you want to sound old timey.
Hey! Love the content about our Scandinavian history and especially our homeland Sweden.
I only have one issue with one of your translations, being that "hantlangare" does NOT mean drugdealer, only "langare" does!
"Hantlangare" actually means what most would call a laborer.
Keep up the good work and have a great day!
You are equally incorrect, wise ass.
Awesome video!
Gustavus! Adolphus! Libera e impera!
Hantlangare would be translated to henchman. Not dealer.
Torstensson was the great Swedish artillery man, also arguabily the greatest Swedish general.
I would have him as one of the best!
Jankow was the war winner of the Thirty Years War.
Skoal!
Wait, Switzerland isn't Sweden?
i was chocked to learn this aswell

Oerhört litet fel i videon jag märkte. Det är väldigt svenskt att säga "fifteenth hundreds" när man menar "femtonhundra-talet" men engelsmännen i deras eviga kunskap menar på att det är så man säger 1400-talet
om jag minns rätt så syftar "fifteen hundreds" på femtonhundratalet, och "16th century" på femtonhundratalet men du kan rätta mig igen om jag har fel
@@balticempire7244du har rätt! År noll var i första århundradet, år 101 i andra århundradet - samma logik i engelska som i svenska språket.
It's also said in English so I don't know what your on about we use both.
